i have a b18c1 gsr engine in my civic now and i have added a aem cold air intake,apexi cat back and i am putting a greddy 421 one piece header on soon. would i gain anything by having my car tuned with these bolt on's or would i be waisting my time and money? and what hp #'s would i have with this basic setup?

You would gain some but IMO not enough to justify spending the money on dyno tuning. Scott may have a baseline type file that he can burn without having to dyno that will get you a bit more oomph and not cost as much. You do not mention what you would be using for tuning, ie: crome, uberdata, VAFC???? When you get cams to add to that list that's when I would definately get it on the dyno to tune.

I would check with digitalboxtuning (Scott) and see if maybe he has a file for it. If he does I'm sure he could burn you a chip for a small fee that would do well for you.

if you went back to the stock injectors i more than likely have a file that'll work.
